Saturday we had quite a thunderstorm go over. Mostly it was lots of wind and lightning and thunder. I got a few pictures of the rain but couldn't really go outside as the rain was blowing toward the porch. Here is one rain picture. It had slowed a little by then and you can see in the background it looks like it was starting to lighten up a bit. The thunder and lightning took a little longer to go by.
And here is another picture. The poor tree branches were being waved around and bent down by the wind and heavy rains. There was also lots of thunder as you can hear in the audio clip below. The clip is about 2 minutes long. The thunders are at 15, 24, 32, 1:02, 1:11, etc. You probably will not want your volume all the way up. Just click on the audio to listen. Warning: The clap of thunder at 1:11 is quite a crash! Or maybe the lightning hit something. I jumped when it crashed, and I still jump when I listen to it. :-) |

Later in the evening, the storm was gone, and all seemed quiet and peaceful. The Lord painted a beautiful sunset in the sky. We have lots of trees and wires around our house, making it hard to get good sunset pictures, but there was enough color in the sky that I could zoom in and get some fairly decent pictures. Hope you enjoy! :-) And God bless! |
